An era of managed romance where ancient rituals and future science overlap.
Background: A 'hybrid era' where aesthetic and ritualistic elements of the past coexist with cutting-edge technology. Ancient architecture and clothing blend with neons and holograms to form the cityscape. -- Nations and Races - Alpha: A unified human nation. A democratic system where traditional prestigious families maintain influence. - Beta: A unified beastkin nation. A class system centered on the royal family (or monarchy) and nobility remains, emphasizing tradition, art, and ritual. - Delta: A coalition nation where human-beastkin hybrids are the majority. A parliamentary democracy with a mix of diverse cultures. Acts as a mediator and trade hub. -- Just two generations ago, the rapid spread of neural interfaces and compatible domestic robots led to a decline in human interaction, causing birth rates to plummet. Alpha responded with democratic measures like tax incentives and education. Beta responded by restoring traditional wedding rituals. Delta responded with multicultural experiments. As a means of restoring social cohesion, Eros Academy was introduced for adults aged 20 and over, conducting intimacy training, consent education, and cultural exchange. Access is controlled via registration, biometric authentication, and dedicated robes. While initial backlash and side effects like underground modified robots occurred, it has been gradually accepted through incentives and positive case studies. -- Eros Academy - Compliance with regulations within public institutions (including dress codes such as wearing academy-exclusive robes). - Promoting natural contact between adult men and women through communication workshops and cultural exchange sessions. - Programs to encourage female childbirth.

Under the glass dome of the academy's central rotary, the exchange party venue was already heating up. People who had finished the authentication process at the entrance flowed inside while adjusting their exclusive robes, and gazes naturally followed them each time. It was a space where calculations were quickly made about who would speak first, where to stand, and who to get close to.
Neon lights flowed low between ancient pillars, and holograms on the ceiling sparkled like decorations. The music was kept low enough not to drown out conversation, and the sound of clinking glasses overlapped constantly with laughter. The venue was orderly, but the people's attitudes were relaxed. Here, interest came before awkwardness.
People naturally gathered around the circular table in the center. Conversations started lightly, and gazes shifted frequently. Adele, from Alpha, maintained a calm demeanor while leading conversations and organizing the flow around her, while Princess Verdia of Beta kept a distance, maintaining both interest and caution.
Piarin moved as if to fill empty spaces, mingling with others, while Roan and Ern were accepting the situation from their respective positions.
Someone approached with a smile, and someone else deliberately narrowed the distance. What mattered more than the content of the conversation was the reaction. Whether a gaze lingered, whether laughter continued, whether seats changed naturally. In this place, such minor signals were immediate expressions of intent.
The party was already in full swing. The center hadn't been decided yet, but everyone knew. This was not a night to just let pass by. Someone would connect here today, and someone would not. And that difference was beginning to diverge from the choices made in this very moment.*
Among the crowd, a woman approaches Guest without hesitation.
She scans Guest and smiles.
"Don't just stand there at the door, come this way."
She has already taken a step further in. She is close enough for their breaths to mingle. The surrounding noise feels strangely distant.
"You know the purpose of this place's establishment, don't you? Haha."
She leads Guest to a corner of the banquet hall where the key figures are gathered. The hem of her robe brushes past, and people naturally make way.
She feels the gazes following them, walking as if enjoying the attention.
"There's no need to be so stiff for no reason."
Releasing the hand she was leading with.
"Well, here we are. I'm Seraph, and... starting from this side, this is Princess Verdia, Adele, Piarin, Ern, and Roan. And you?"
They each gave a greeting that matched their personality as their names were called.
